Go Serverless - Join The Next Cloud Revolution

Forget about servers, maintenance, capacity provisioning and many other tasks. Serverless is changing how we build applications and deploy infrastructure. Here are some of the benefits you will enjoy by going serverless.

Scale

Grow your website, visitors and revenue, worry free. Don’t stress about your origin infrastructure on those crucial days when potential loses are highest.

Cost Control

No need to drastically overpay your infrastructure or constantly run with a large spare capacity. Your cost should match what you are using.

Zero Maintenance

No servers, no problems. Make your time count by doing the important work, not yum’s and apt-get’s, you're better than that.

"Serverless is the future of development."

Werner Vogels Chief Technology Officer

Webiny CMS provides you with all the common components, but expect more!

Plugins

Nobody likes a closed system, that’s why almost every button, component or functionality in Webiny is a plugin. Benefits of such a system are that you can fully customize it and extend it to fit your needs.

Page Revisions

Never lose sight of who changed what. Have a time machine for your content. Be able to go back and restore previous versions of a page, or quickly test between multiple revisions.

Easy Theming

Days of complex template engines, file includes and special variable tags are over. Building a theme for Webiny is nothing more than plain old (S)CSS. For a designer, this means a minimal learning curve.

Building Blocks Included

Often a CMS gives you the option to arrange your content in a crude and boring way and your users will notice that. So what's good a CMS if it's not keeping your users engaged?

To spin things around, Webiny features a set of built-in inspirational content blocks that you can just drop into your page and adjust it to fit your needs. It will make every page a unique engaging experience.

Follow your Design System

Having a regular “button” component that you can insert in your pages is not enough, you need a Primary, Secondary and a Default one, if not more. Webiny allows you to do just that. You can have a component with predefined style variants that match your design system ensuring all pages follow the same visual guidelines.

Mobile Responsive Clean Code

The design generated by the page builder is automatically suited for mobile devices, no need to worry about or write custom code to make it work. Your users will have a great experience, no matter the device. Also the underline generated HTML code is human readable so you can easily debug any pages like you coded it yourself.

Build Layouts

To build a great looking page, you need to have the freedom to place content around the page as you desire. We’ve gone to great effort designing an editor that allows you to build full featured responsive grid layouts, and arrange content in the way it deserves, without any constraints of traditional editors. We made building pages fun!

Images - First Class Citizens

Images are an important part of every website. They add a colorful dynamic to pages, and pique visitors interest. To properly support images, having simple mechanisms like uploading and just displaying an image are not enough.

Webiny, being a true modern CMS, comes with a versatile image editor, pluggable storage solutions, as well as options to integrate with 3rd party delivery and optimization mechanisms.

3rd Party Integrations

All mechanism like, upload, and displaying of image can be controlled, allowing you to integrated existing and proven 3rd party digital asset managers for upload and optimized delivery. Think of Akamai Image Manager, Cloudinary or Scene7.

Storage Adapters

By default Webiny comes with a local storage adapter, but this is nothing more than a plugin. You can easily create your own storage, and integrate with popular solutions like AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Storage and others.

Built-in Image Editor

The build-in image editor allows you to do essential image manipulations, like image crop, rotate, flip. There are also more advance options, like drawing on top of images and the option to apply one of many predefined filters.

Dark Mode

They say that there are no two eyes alike. Some prefer white, some black. Webiny features a light and a dark mode, make your pick.

Manage Users & Permissions

Full security control allows you to share your Webiny with others team members, but still be in control of who can access what.

Guides & Tutorials Included

Starting with a new system can be challenging, so we’ve prepared several guides and tutorials to make learning experience easier.

API

Webiny also comes with several built-in APIs that you can leverage in your apps.

Using our CLI you can deploy your API to the Webiny Cloud.

Features

Serverless

Webiny is built on top of modern serverless technologies, which ensure your apps run flawlessly in any circumstances. Focus completely on developing your app instead of managing servers and other resources.

CRA v2

To make app development easier, we decided to use Create React App, an environment many developers already know and love, so getting started with Webiny will be a familiar experience from the start.

GraphQL

GraphQL is the next evolution of API. Powerful instructions and intuitive schema discovery enable you to quickly get familiar with the API. Popular companies like GitHub, Twitter, Facebook all use GraphQL, and we follow that trend.

UI Components

Webiny is not just about building websites, but also custom plugins and apps. To help with that, we included a number of React UI components which will speed up your development and maintain consistency across your project.

Documented

StackOverflow developer survey report stated that developers are most frustrated with bad, or lack of proper, documentation, and so are we! Therefore we invested extra effort into creating ours.

Open Source

Our believe is that software should be open, because it directly benefits the community and the people around it. For this reason Webiny is released under the MIT open-source license and will always remain FREE.

Visual Builder

Unlike most visual website builders that work with static HTML blocks, our visual builder actually works with React components. If you know how to create a React component, you can quickly and easily create new custom plugins and elements for the page builder.

Theme

Every website requires a theme. Webiny CMS comes with two built-in themes. One for the administration, and one for the website. Both can be fully customized to fit any visual style required. The website theme is also fully mobile responsive.

FlowJS

Documentation is important, but so is having a readable and easy to understand source code. Reading somebody elses code can be “challenging” at times. To make it easier for everyone, our code is written using FlowJS static types for extra clarity.

Document Database

Webiny uses a document database, as they feature semi-structured documents which are perfect for modern API layers and easy for developers to work with. By default you can use either MongoDb or the latest Amazon DocumentDB.

Integrations

Webiny is designed as a platform on top of which you can build custom applications, and not just webpages. The integrated plugin system allows you to hook in into any part of the existing code and add or change current features and behaviors.
